Question: The
sense of inferiority is deepening within me day by day, leaving me internally
hollow and fragmented. I am now unable to make eye contact while speaking.
Whenever someone at home, a relative, or a neighbor engages me in even the
simplest conversation, I am immediately overwhelmed by the thought that my
presence must seem insignificant and inferior to them. I am frail and visibly
weak, and a constant fear grips me that the person might ask why I am becoming
so thin. These thoughts rush through my mind in a split second, one after
another, causing a strange dizziness, and I become incapable of responding,
regardless of who addresses me—be it a peer, a neighborly woman, or someone
merely asking what I am cooking or working on. This same cycle repeats, and my
heart begins to race uncontrollably. I am so deeply entangled in this state—so
utterly gripped by it—that from morning to night my mind remains engulfed by
the conviction that I am insignificant, worthless, and physically unattractive.
I wish to divert my attention from these thoughts, but I find myself incapable
of doing so. This persistent psychological turmoil is corroding me like a
hidden termite, weakening me more with each day. I suffer from no physical
ailment, yet this mental distress continues to consume me.
Once
again, I humbly request you—for the sake of the Almighty Lord, the Beloved
Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the sanctified saints—to recommend a spiritual
invocation (wazifa) that may bring me relief.
Answer: Recite
in full the verse: "اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي
خَلَقَ" ("Recite in the name of your Lord
who created…") after both the Fajr and ‘Isha prayers. Blow upon water
after recitation and drink it. Continue this practice for forty days. At night,
ensure complete darkness when sleeping—do not leave any light on in the room.
During the day, too, once household duties are completed, spend time in
darkness when possible. Remaining consistently occupied in purposeful tasks
will prove highly effective and beneficial. Additionally, engage in the reading
of books that narrate the lives and states of righteous saints and elders.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
Nearly three decades ago, the esteemed spiritual scholar and blessed guide, Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi (R.A), inaugurated a mission of public service with the objective of liberating humanity from afflictions, psychological distress, and physical ailments. For ten years, he remained in contemplative retreat, silently advancing this sacred commitment to the service of creation (khidmat-e-khalq). As the hearts of the people began turning toward him, he employed the medium of mass communication. In 1969, this initiative was formally introduced to the public through newspapers and spiritual journals. According to conservative estimates, through written correspondence and face-to-face interaction—particularly via national publications and the Roohani Digest—Hazrat Azeemi has extended spiritual guidance and healing to over 1.4 million men and women, addressing intricate personal crises and intractable medical conditions. Today, it is not uncommon that wherever a few individuals gather, and a seemingly insoluble dilemma or incurable illness is mentioned, someone inevitably suggests: “Establish contact with Azeemi Sahib—the matter will be resolved.”
Through the grace of Allah the Almighty, the spiritual affinity with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the continued beneficence of the blessed guide, four volumes of Roohani Daak (Spiritual Correspondence) have now been compiled. The first volume is hereby presented to you for contemplation and benefit.
